Entry Level Performance and Conduct

If you are in entry level status and cannot--or will not--adjust socially or emotionally to military life or cannot meet the minimum standards of your training program, you may be eligible for separation. Entry level status is the first 180 days of active duty. For more information, see Entry Level Status.

While there is no official way to apply for this separation, you can bring problems to your commanding officer's attention, in the hope that your commander will consider your separation to be in the best interest of the military. But you'll need to act fast. In order to get this discharge, your commanding officer must start the discharge process while you are still in entry level status.
